Meet Applied Counselling Skills Graduate, Melanie Henry The Applied Counselling Skills (ACS) program at ACC provided a variety of teaching strategies. Instructors brought their own personal work experience, life skills and educational knowledge to the classroom. I enjoyed the variety of courses and the topics that were covered. Each day I use the counselling skills and the writing skills that I acquired in the program. Previous to the ACS program I was an Educational Assistant for the Rolling River School Division. My ACS practicum involved hands-on work with at-risk teenagers who are experiencing difficulties socially and behaviourally. This practicum led to a casual position with Child and Family Services. A few months later, I applied for a Post-placement Coordinator position at an international adoption agency. This career path helped me understand the diversity in families and gave me a great opportunity to travel across Canada and to Africa. I am currently the Career Coordinator for the two high schools in the Rolling River School Division. I work one-on-one with students in the classroom, discussing career options with parents and students and helping students with their high school apprenticeship needs. Applied Counselling Skills gave me the tools to explore many career options and find one that suits my personality, skills and family. 15
